Strengths

Manufacturing plant-based additives from base oleochemicals is a highly specialized process. Hence, many of these additives are specialty products, and this industry enjoys premium margins with only a few players dominating the industry globally. Proprietary technology to manufacture these specialty additives is available with only a few global players. The company is one of the leading players that developed proprietary technologies to manufacture the green additives. There are only a few large players in the global oleochemical-based additives industry. This is due to multiple entry barriers, such as product formulations, process technology and customer stickiness to established players. None of the company's major competitors are based in India. Lengthy, expensive customer product approval process and innovative technology restrict smaller and new players from entering the additives industry as they have to wait for 3-5 years to supply their products on a commercial basis.

The company has developed in-house process design expertise to construct its production facilities. This gives scale advantages by enabling the timely expansion of its capacity in response to market needs and reduce capital expenditure costs for expansions compared to other players.

Weaknesses

Domestic vegetable oil prices depend on global demand-supply dynamics as well as domestic output. Duty changes (by the Indian government and exporting countries) can result in price fluctuations, and hence volatility in demand. Climatic changes and a weak monsoon could impact production of oilseeds as well, and consequently supply. Also, foreign exchange rate volatility impacts prices in the short term.

Some long-term agreements for the sale of products contain a meet-or-release provision, i.e., a provision pursuant to which a purchaser may terminate the agreement if the company does not agree to meet any lower offers that the purchaser receives from other suppliers. Some of long-term agreements stipulate fixed prices for products. Some of long-term agreements stipulate that there are no minimum purchase obligations on its customer(s).

Some of group companies (Oleofine Organics Sdn Bhd-Malaysia and Oleofine Organics (Thailand) Co) are in the same line of business as Fine Organics.
